To the Editor of the Bund, in Berne:

Honored Sir: As the undersigned had not the good fortune to see the address of sympathy and condolence to the American Union, being absent from his place of residence while it was circulating, respectfully requests you to add his name to the list of signers to that patriotic document.

I remain yours, with much esteem,
